Funny or Die

"We're werewolves, not swearwolves!"

What We Do In The Shadows, the vampire roommate comedy from Flight of the Conchords' Jemaine Clement, doesn't hit theatres until February 13th. Right now, that feels like forever. I need these doofuses in my life immediately.

It's got that thing, you know?

Chris Pine and the people at Funny or Die must have known that if they attempted a serious ridiculous sketch about vampire lawyers, they would be up against some heavy competition—Phil Hartman's classic caveman lawyer, for example, or Harvey Birdman attorney at law. So instead they went in a different direction, and the entire Internet is better for it.

"No man should have this power."

Last week the Internet showed its love for Reading Rainbow by donating millions of dollars to rebooting the classic series, and dear God, what have we done? Funny or Die shows the dystopian reality that would result if reading truly gave you the power to "do anything." That poor, poor butterfly.

Pretty Pretty Princess

Ok, not really. But this sketch from Funny or Die starring AnnaSophia Robb (The Carrie Diaries) as Ariel and Evan Peters (X-Men: Days of Future Past) as Prince Eric is pretty much how we expect that project to turn out.

I want to live in a world where Bugs Bunny actually sounds like that.

Were you as devastated as we were when you found out that the rumors of a Space Jam sequel starring Kobe Bryant were all fake? Then you, like us, probably had very questionable taste during the '90s. Also, you'll wish you'd been at the UCB theater in Los Angeles to see this surprise table read of Space Jam last month.

The creationist version of Cosmos is very short. More time to go stop science teachers from doing their job!

Some religious groups have complained that their scientifically unprovable opinions haven't been included on science show Cosmos. Thankfully Funny Or Die has stepped in with "Creationist Cosmos" a dead-on parody that lampoons the willful ignorance of creationists as well as Cosmos' Spaceship of the Imagination style cheesiness.

Thanks, Obama!

President Obama appeared on the Funny or Die webseries Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis to promote Healthcare, and like any episode of the show it's absurd and hilarious. The main difference of course being that it happens to feature the President.

The Internet has been all over the HUVr hoverboard hoax with its videos of celebrities like Tony Hawk floating through the air on a replica of the pink hoverboard from Back to the FutureII. However, because the universe is a cold, indifferent place, it's assuredly not real, and it turns out Funny or Die was behind it.

What is a weekend?

Season 4 of Downton Abbey starts tonight in the United States, which is super exciting. Non-US fans, please avoid spoiling anything from the new season in the comments! To celebrate, enjoy this video of Michelle Dockery, aka Lady Mary, teaming up with Michael Chiklis in an exciting new (not real at all) cop drama...
